This is an update. The WordPress guy came back to me with answers. It is a dual problem: a HTML validity issue and an invalid tag issue in TinyMCE.
Problem with my WordPress 2.7, my embedded YouTube videos, and my feed reader(s).
Still a mystery.
No word yet from the WordPress authorities.
A tipster tells me that the plugin “-Smart YouTube”- solves the problem.
I won’-t install the plugin before I get reliable info from the WordPress authorities.
UPDATE: If I embed the YouTube video in the “-HTML”- area, and don’-t click on “-Visual”- before publishing, all is fine —-the YouTube video will end up in the feed reader.

In my last post, I have embedded 7 YouTube videos on prediction markets (featuring Emile Servan-Schreiber of NewsFutures). While they work fine on the post within my web browser, they can’-t be seen when that same post is displayed within a feed reader (such as Google Reader or Sage).
At this moment, I have no idea where the problem comes from. I would blame WordPress 2.7. (All was fine with the previous versions of WordPress.) Let me investigate that technical issue. I will post an update to this post, later on.
